6:27 pm
building we believe on harrison street. fire officials now say there is an injury that has been reported but they aren't elaborating on the seriousness of that injury. we don't know how the fire started or the circumstances surrounding it. the flames did break out about an hour ago, about 5:30 on a house on harrison street right next to 880. if you're going that way or pass that way, surely you saw the smoke in downtown oakland on harrison street beside 880. the home is in a thabd which is a blend of residential and businesses in the area. there are some reports of very strong odor from the fire. we'll continue to update the story as warranted throughout the newscast. out in the open. women serve in combat. ask can anyone in the military. it's no secret. but until today it was against u.s. policy and that means that women were doing the work but not getting the credit. in a surprise move the pentagon enlisted a ban dating back 20 years. kris sanchez joins us with reaction. a lot of women are saying it's

6:31 pm
matter of policy, it's personal. i stood next to president obama as the marines carried those flag-draped caskets off the plane at andrews. i put my arms around the mothers and fathers, the sisters and brothers, the sons and daughters, and the wives left alone to raise their children. >> an independent review found inadequate security and leadership left that post vulnerable. mrs. clinton blamed a lack of funding in part for the inadequacies. >> the backup notre dame linebacker manti te'o and so-called online girlfriend, the girl whose photograph was used, was on the "today" show this morning. she said she never heard of manti te'o and both of them were victims of a confusing and twisted set up. te'o for his part told katie couric he briefly lied about the online girlfriend after discovering that she didn't exist. te'o maintains he had no part in
6:32 pm
creating that hoax. a lot of registered sex offenders from using social networking sites has been ruled unconstitutional. an indiana law that bans sex offenders from accessing sites that can be accessed by children has been overturned. the blanket ban was said to be too broad and didn't really protect kids. a district judge said the state has found strong evidence that social networking sites like facebook are a virtual playground for sexual predators to lurk. federal judges have forbidden similar laws in nebraska and louisiana. they let you jump, slide, and twist and they're popping up in ski resorts across the country especially here in northern california. we're talking about terrain parks, parks in the snow. they're fun but are they safe? >> some are concerned about the design of the park and the potential for serious accidents. >> reporter: with a jump launching you as high as 90 feet
6:33 pm
in the air there's no denying it's a risky activity. but as this has taken off, we found there is little oversight over how these jumps are designed. it's a big draw for snowboarders and skiers. terrain parks are growing in popularity alongside big events like the x-games. and according to a recent survey, 90% of u.s. ski resorts now have them. >> the u.s. is leading the rest of the world. >> reporter: chris has been at the center of the craze since it began two decades ago. his company is responsible for dreaming up and constructing the jumps for the x-games and the dew tour. he's also building terrain at ski areas all over the world, in northern california that
6:34 pm
includes places like north star and heavenly. can you design the jumps so they're fun and safe? >> it's impossible to design a safe jump. >> reporter: the former pro snowboarder says while there's a lot of thought how they're designed, the team uses calculation to build the jump. >> there are no standards and because snow changes all the time, it's impossible to have, quote/unquote, standards. >> you want to minimize that impact or control it. typically you can't just do that by pushing snow around and hoping that it's the right shape. >> reporter: an expert witness who has testified in several lawsuits against various ski resorts, also a professor of mechanical engineering at uc davis. >> not all of them are safe. absolutely. >> reporter: hubbard says the key to preventing serious accidents is counterweighting the distance from the jump to the landing. >> accommodate for any place you want to land and it makes it so you land equally everywhere.
6:35 pm
>> reporter: while ski resorts keep accident sta ttistics prive a study presented at a conference organized by the international society for skiing safety found the rate of spine and head injuries at terrain parks is double that compared to other areas at a resort. >> i had no idea that these jumps really have almost little to no design. >> reporter: when kenny hit a jump at more than 35 miles an hour at a terrain park at the summit at snoqualmie in washington, it sent him more than three stories up in the air. >> the landing of the ramp was way too short. it dropped me on the flat ice instead of dropping me down to more of a sloped landing which in theory would have prevented the injury that i got. >> reporter: paralyzed from the neck down at 23 years old, he received more than $14 million in damages from the ski area. >> it's like taking on big tobacco. >> reporter: it's a judgment salvini says came as a shock.
6:36 pm
resorts are rarely found liable for injuries on the slope. he was the exception. he was hurt in part because the jump constructed by the ski area wasn't reasonably safe according to jurors. salvini fears other parks are also. >> something needs to be done. it doesn't mean you have to tear down the parks. with a little bit of science and common sense, these terrain parks can be built safely. >> reporter: an international standard organization is now trying to figure out if a terrain standard is possible with a committee made up of ski resort operators, park designers, and engineers like hubbard all while more and more parks are built. >> what's at risk, kids and subsequent lives. >> i'm certainly willing to try. but there's no proven model out there yet. >> reporter: but that could take
6:37 pm
some time. it took more than ten years to develop. most ski resorts in the lake tahoe area. they denied our request for an on camera interview you. the ski resort in washington where salvini was injured at would not comment. publicly they say a skier or rider accepts the risk associated with the activity. if you have a tip for our investigative unit, give us a call 888-996-tips or send us an e-mail to theunit@nbcbayarea.com. cahow people are celebratin their hometown hero, colin kaepernick. the new test that can tell if you're going to have a heart attack potentially in the next five years.
